Lovelytheband breaks “Billboard” record with “broken”

Credit: Guerin BlaskLovelytheband's breakout single "broken" has now broken a Billboard record.

The track just spent its 66th week on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, which is the longest any song has stayed on the tally in its 30-year history.

The record that "broken" broke had been set by Rise Against, whose song "Savior" lasted for 65 weeks on Alternative Songs between July 2009 and September 2010. Cold War Kids' "First" now sits in third place at 64 weeks.

"Broken" is the lead single off lovelytheband's 2018 debut album finding it hard to smile. The group will launch a U.S. headlining tour in support of the record in March.
